Algebra messed up one of those divisions between things that help you make sense of the world and keep it tidy. Letters make words figures make numbers. They had no business getting tangled up together.
Mal Peet

Algebra goes to the heart of the matter at it ignores the casual nature of particular cases.

Sometimes in studying Ramanujan's work, [George Andrews] said at another time, I have wondered how much Ramanujan could have done if he had had MACSYMA or SCRATCHPAD or some other symbolic algebra package.
Robert Kanigel

We [he and Halmos] share a philosophy about linear algebra: we think basis-free, we write basis-free , but when the chips are down we close the office door and compute with matrices like fury.
Irving Kaplansky

Arithmetic! Algebra! Geometry! Grandiose trinity! Luminous triangle! Whoever has not known you is without sense!
Isidore Ducasse Lautreamont

I love the psychology versus math and logic. In algebra, X means any possible variable. I sort of think about X in terms of the equation of my own life. Adding X to my own life has given me a freedom that I didn't have before in the equation of my own existence.

I would advise you, Sir, to study algebra, if you are not an adept already in it: your head would get less muddy, and you will leave off tormenting your neighbours about paper and packthread, while we all live together in a world that is bursting with sin and sorrow.
Samuel Johnson

Anais Nin

Arundhati Roy

Private Victory precedes Public Victory. Algebra comes before calculus.
Stephen Covey
Image
When I was at school, I was terrible at algebra and arithmetic, but I was always the best at English and literature. And acting, of course.
Joan Collins

There are many cases of these algebras which may obviously be combined into natural classes, but the consideration of this portion of the subject will be reserved to subsequent researches.
Benjamin Peirce
Image
I failed chemistry. I almost failed algebra.
